Who would have thought that a trip to Kroger for Lucky Charms or a quick stop into Whole Foods for salad or picking up a six-pack of Coke at Gerland’s Grocer would force you to have your head on a swivel.

Well that’s the reality at grocery stores in Sugar Land, where celebrities are as common as loafs of bread and quarts of milk.

Although Houston isn’t a hotbed for entertainment celebs like Hollywood is, it has it’s fair share of sporting superstars.

Former Houston Rockets great and current sports radio host Calvin Murphy gets his groceries at the Kroger on Sweetwater Boulevard and might even rub shoulders down the canned vegetable aisle with former congressman and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who managers say frequents the store.

A store manager at Gerland’s Grocer in the Sugar Creek shopping center has seen NBA legends Moses Malone and Hakeem (a stock boy’s dream) Olajuwon, who have both been spotted at the newly opened Whole Foods Market on Southwest Freeway, along with former Houston Comets star Cynthia Cooper.
